Port History

In Literature, the earliest mention has been made in 88 AD in Greek work "Periuplus
of the Erythrean Sea". In AD 124, the earliest reference was made by Ptolemy who
has observed - "Country of Kareoi, in the Kolkhic Gulf, where there is a pearl fishery,
Sosikourai and Kolkhoi, and emporium at the mouth of the river Solan".
